Eye AF: The secret to unforgettable portraits

Count on Sony’s exclusive Eye AF for crisp focus and more successful portraits. A revolutionary tool for anyone — even including pros and enthusiasts.

The eye is the window to the soul of a portrait

The glint of an eye. It’s the signature of every great portrait; a glimpse into the soul of the subject. Sony’s unique Eye AF brings this unprecedented power to all your portraits, continuously tracking not just your subject, but the individual eye — for startling images, from snapshot to professional portraiture.

And now, Real-time Eye AF for Animals

Pet and wildlife photography is now easier than ever! Sony's Real-time Eye AF feature has been extended to the animal world, automatically detecting and tracking the eyes of animals as well as humans.

The key to great portraits

Loved by professionals

With a fast lens, the difference between an award-winning portrait and an everyday snapshot may come down to nothing more than the length of an eyelash. Professionals know the glint of a perfectly-focused eye brings life to an image unlike anything else, which is why Sony’s Eye AF is such a game-changing innovation.

“When you are shooting really boldly in the frame, you can use Eye AF. Just press the button and then the focus locks on the eye. The racket or the arm doesn’t distract the focus from where it should be — on the eye.”

“Eye AF was a real revelation and gave me opportunities I wouldn’t have usually had.”
